Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2014 20:56:31 -0500 From: Jarrod Holiway <jdylanh9@gmail.com> Subject: Levi (Part 3) Levi (Part 3) The Damaged Boy This is the third installment of the Levi series. All Usual Disclaimers Apply Levi, Nathan, and I set off for a bit of shopping. Levi had very few outfits and as my protege (which was unknown to him) I felt it necessary to clothe him in the finest. We went to the Galleria and some other fine clothing stores I patronize on a regular basis and we had a ball. It was fun for Nathan and I watching this brand new homosexual who never had anything in his eighteen years on Earth try on expensive clothes. Nathan and I sat or stood shoulder-to-shoulder outside of dressing room doors for hours waiting for Levi to walk out in something exquisite he wanted to try on. Each time the door opened and he stepped out I saw in his eyes what I wish I could see in every person's eyes. I saw joy, happiness, glee, excitement, and love. His face glowed, his body radiated heat and a beautiful aura. Sharing this time with Nathan was also lifting my heart to heights it had not known for over a decade. After we had spent all morning and much of the afternoon playing dress up with Levi; we decided to do a late lunch. Our server, Jason, was a young man with charisma who rivaled Nathan's. He was almost magnetic. I am sure with his charm, face, body, and the fact he served at a five star restuarant he made serious money. Fuck, I wanted to tip him 100% just for honor of his company. However, it wasn't me who took the grandest notice of Jason - it was my boy Levi. I think Levi fell in love the very same second his eyes looked into Jason's eyes. I shared a knowing look with Nathan. It was apparent Jason took notice of Levi too. Holy shit! Nathan and I are literally witnessing one of the most beautiful things on earth - the connecting of two people. When we finished up at the restaurant we headed back to the loft for the evening and for a much needed bourbon. Nathan and I were on the sofa talking and sipping bourbon while Levi was putting his new things away in his room. About an hour and 4 fingers of bourbon had passed when Levi began coming down the stairs, slowly - each step was completely deliberate. The staircase from his room, which was the whole partial upstairs, was a spiral staircase. So we could see his front, side, back, other side and repeat. Each time his face came around he made eye contact and smiled a toothy smile at us. We must have looked completely foolish. Nathan and I sat just staring, like some kind of mouth-breathers, at him as he descended the staircase waiting for his front to come around again so we could see his face. when he finally reached the bottom and strolled over to us, he sat right between Nathan and I. Since we were sitting pretty close, Levi had to wiggle his cute little bottom down in between us. We were both just kind of still mesmerized by his little stair performance. Levi looked into my face and hugged me full on. He whispered into my ear, "Thank you so much. This is the most perfect day of my life." His whisper was literally little more than just breath leaving his mouth. The words came from his mouth, I guess. But, I was never positive he said actual words. I have often wondered if he was able to convey a sense of feeling to another person. I do not mean in a telepathic way or some other sci-fi thing - I mean Levi was always so powerful when it came to emotions. I believe, with all my heart, he can literally put an emotion into a person. I think he can actually communicate with emotions. Fuck, I had not felt anything for a decade before I met him. I bet the hardened heart of the pharaoh would have been no match for Levi's skills. I still can't explain why, but my eyes filled with tears. They weren't tears of sorrow, I wouldn't call them tears of joy. It was more like there was so much emotion in my heart my body didn't know what to do - so it just picked something. Rather than picking giving me a hard on, extra energy, or something useful - it picked tears. I guess when you are overcome with so much emotion and you have no idea how to begin to process it - tears do make the most sense. Good job, body. Good job, soul. I kissed him on the forehead and told him he deserved this day and if he kept up his end of our bargain there would be plenty more perfect days. He released me and grabbed up Nathan. I don't know what he whispered to Nathan but Nathan kissed him on the forehead and told him thank you when they let go of each other. Levi bounded back up the stairs in a fashion completely contrary to his descent and Nathan and I just looked at each other. I had been struggling with my feelings about these two for a short time but I knew exactly how I felt about each of them at this point. Nathan had become the object of my desire. I had fallen in love with him and wanted us to share a life together. As for Levi, I had grown to love him as a son. Our soul connection made me want to look after him and him want to be looked after by me; give me the purpose I needed. I wanted the best for him and to see him succeed. If Nathan moved in we would have some sort of domestic family unit. I didn't even try for any of this. It just fell into my lap. Once again the higher power graced me with gifts of which I am undeserving. I told Nathan I wanted to talk to him in the bedroom and he followed me. "I have been thinking a lot lately, Nathan." I said. "I know you have Christian. To be honest I have been wondering what has been going on with you. You have done a 180 in the last couple of weeks. You went from a self-absorbed predator to...I don't know...whatever it is you are now." "I didn't plan or ask for any of this but it feels good and you know I like to feel good. I have always gone after what I want, so just listen for a second. Nathan, I have fallen in love with you. I want you to be more than my confidant and bartender. I want you to move in. I want you to help me keep Levi on the right track. But most of all I just want you to be with me. I want to wake up next to you. I want to smell you. I want to hear you. I want to see you every single day. I want to kiss you every moment - I want to kiss you now. I want to stop talking. Fuck." There it was. I laid it all right on the line so Nathan would know exactly how I felt and what I thought. Nathan replied hesitantly, "I don't know what to say Christian. I gave up on you a long time ago but watching this transformation you have gone through lately renewed my feelings for you. I think you are talking about moving things along a little too fast. I don't know if I am ready to move in with you and are you asking me to 'father' Levi with you? In case you didn't notice he is eighteen years old." I was still riding on an emotional high from before. I was losing control of my voice and tempo and inflection as I responded, "I know he is eighteen but he has never had any paternal or maternal guidance. He grew up in a household that told him he was a wicked beast everyday. Despite all of that he has turned out a remarkable young man. I'm not asking you to be a parent I just think the two of us together as influences in his life could really help this kid blossom into something great. You don't have to move in with me if you don't want. I just want you to know that I want to get serious. You spend half the week here anyway and I feel that isn't enough time. Just think about it." Nathan got up and walked to me. He kissed me on the lips and told me he had to go and get ready for work. He yelled up the stairs to Levi and told him it was time to go to work. Levi came down and hugged me again in one of the tightest hugs I can ever remember receiving. During that hug I did something I have purposefully done a couple times in my life. I purposefully made a memory. I made sure to hold him and put myself in tune with all of my senses. I inhaled him; to get his smell in my scent memory, I focused on my body against his; to get the feel of his frame in my touch memory. I listened to his breathing; just to hear him move air for my hearing memory. When we began to part; I opened my eyes and looked into his face for my vision memory. Finally, I leaned back in and kissed his lips. I just wanted a memory of what his lips tasted like. The scene itself, in no way ever, could ever be erased from my memory. Then, just like that, he followed Nathan out the door. I felt sad watching the two most important people in my life leave at the same time. I knew they would be back in seven or eight hours but it still hurt to go that long without them. It hurt. *************************************************************************************************** Over the next few weeks not much had changed. Nathan hadn't moved in yet but he had told me he did want a relationship and he was spending more and more time with Levi and me. Levi had taken his college entrance exam and had done decently. He was accepted to SLU and was supposed to start classes this coming spring semester. I was so proud of him and we had a celebration dinner. I had spoken to his financial aid counselor and she had told me that there wasn't a way for me to pay his tuition secretly. There was no way to create a phony scholarship and lie to the boy about how his tuition was being paid. During the dinner celebration I gave Levi an envelope containing a check to SLU for the full amount of his first semester. Levi teared up and refused to accept it. I told him it wasn't really a gift but a loan and when he was famous he could repay me. I told him to think of repaying me as an incentive to do well. After arguing about it all evening he finally accepted with a tearful thanks and hugs all around. Nathan had told me that Levi was the belle of the ball when it came to the club. Levi was everyone's favorite server and hence Levi started getting the best shifts and was earning some really good money. Whenever Levi tried to give me any I told him to just put it in the bank and save it for when I am old and he has to pay for a nursing home for me. Things were going so well. Nathan and I had a wonderful relationship going on and Levi was just flourishing. However, Levi was often missing. Not exactly missing, but he would be absent for large blocks of time and never tell Nathan and me what he was up to. We ruled out drugs and all wrongdoing actually. It was just as if he had a special alone time he didn't want to share with us. I am not one to pry in anyone's business - even if that person is my protege and soul connection buddy. Nathan and I were anxiously awaiting Levi to come home from work. It was Saturday morning and Levi should have been home at least an hour ago. Levi had never, not come home on time. He had told Nathan and me he really liked a special boy and we thought maybe Levi was getting to know him - in a special way. Levi, being the responsible boy he was, I always gave him credit but he would have called though. I was very worried but Nathan seemed somewhat nonchalant. Nathan tried to ease my mind with stories of all the guys who come into the bar who want to fuck the young servers and that Levi must have taken fancy to one or more of them. It was 5:32 a.m. when I got a phone call from a colleague. "Christian, it's Lizzy. I know this is a HIPAA (medical privacy act) violation but you need to come to the hospital. Your friend Levi just showed up by ambulance. I had him assigned to me in the emergency department. I'll save all the explanation for when you get here but as a doctor you know what I mean when I say you need to come as quickly as possible." I thanked Lizzy for the call and hung up the phone. Nathan had already started getting dressed as he knew by my expression something was wrong. We were dressed and in the car within 4 minutes and we were at the hospital in under ten minutes. I used all my physician perks to get to Levi as soon as possible. I parked in physician parking, bypassed security and registration and ran through the E.D. till I found Lizzy. My heart sank even more as Lizzy lead us to Trauma Room 2, that was a bad sign. As I entered the room I smelled the all too familiar smell of iron - of blood. Levi's clothes were drenched in blood and in shreds in the corner from when the ambulance or hospital staff had cut them off. Levi, was on a backboard and in a cervical collar. Both eyes were swollen shut and discolored, nose broken, lips split open, and one of Levi's front teeth had been knocked out. That was just the damage I could see to his face. Lizzy began to give me the breakdown of his injuries, "CT scans and x-rays have ruled out spinal damage, internal bleeding, and broken bones" "Cerebral damage?" I asked "I'm sorry Christian but he has two IC bleeds. The smaller bleed is subdural and he has a nasty subarachnoid bleed. The operating room is being prepped for him now." "Who is the surgeon?" "Dr. Sheppard will be operating and based on the CT he thinks there will be a good outcome; minimal loss of motor function and minimal, if any, loss of cognitive capabilities. I'm sorry, Christian." I grabbed Levi gently and I was talking to him. I'm not sure what all I was saying to his motionless body but it was mostly reassuring things I think. Nathan pulled me back from the bed and held me in a hug. I hadn't even noticed surgery had come down to get Levi. I watched all the IV's running into him and I couldn't help but think of all the times I had ordered those same IV's and watched patients go to surgery and not come back. Yet, that couldn't be the case here. Those were patients. This was my Levi. He was my boy. He was my soul connection. He was a battered and abused child who still had the love of an angel inside of him. He was beautiful even now while he was so damaged. This couldn't happen to my boy. Levi was in surgery for four hours. I collected his important possessions such as his wallet and his phone. I noticed his phone had 3 missed calls. I didn't want to snoop but it I thought there might be something important there. I immediately realized who had been trying to get ahold of Levi; Jason. The charismatic boy from the restaurant. I couldn't help it - I had to look at his text history. It was clear Levi and Jason had been sort of dating. This coincided with the blocks of time Levi was gone. I didn't understand why Levi never told me. I thought about calling Jason. He would surely want to know what happened, but I decided against it. I didn't want to overstep my bounds and I have no idea what their relationship status was. Dr. Sheppard found us and he approached us cautiously, "We have done really good work Christian. I think we are looking at a full recovery in time. When Levi wakes up he will have only fifty percent use of his left arm but with physical therapy I am estimating he will suffer no lifelong debilitating injuries. I breathed a long sigh of relief and Nathan did as well. We sat in Levi's room together and nine hours passed before Levi awoke. "Christian?" The first thing Levi said. "I'm here Levi and Nathan too. What do you need?" "I'm really thirsty and I hurt a lot." "I will get your doctor in here. Do you remember what happened, Levi?" "I was attacked by three guys." Levi was sobbing and I hugged him and whispered every comforting thing I could think of into his ear. I fought back tears while I just repeated, "I love you." over and over again. I pushed the 'call' button and his nurse came in. She adjusted some of his IV's and fetched Dr. Sheppard for us. Dr. Sheppard proceeded to tell Levi exactly what his injuries were and what would happen. I thought he did a great job and I was happy it was him explaining it all to Levi and not me. Dr. Sheppard exited the room with his usual stiff professionalism. "Christian, I have been seeing Jason, the cutie from the restaurant. Will you call him for me?" Levi asked. "Of Course." I grabbed Levi's phone and called Jason. I heard the overly excited voice of Jason. "Hey Pumpkin!" "Jason, it is Dr. Teach - I mean, this is Christian. I hope you are well. Levi is in Barnes Jewish Hospital and Nathan and I are here with him. He would like you to come." I said. "What happened? Is he okay?" The all too familiar notes of panic in a voice. I had not really made too many of these calls. Nurses or other staff usually did on my orders. "He will be okay in time. For now he just needs the people who care for him around him. I hope that you are one of them. Will you come?" I had an unnecessary amount of curtness in my tone. I don't know why I was behaving this way with Jason. I did not really know him, from what I did know, I liked him. It just seemed too much to me to have him here when Levi didn't really know him that well, and I certainly didn't know him that well. "On the way." Jason said and the phone went dead. How inefficient. Jason didn't give an estimated time of arrival or seek further information about the situation. I began to think I may have been wrong about Jason. Perhaps, he wasn't the guy I thought he was. Given, I didn't really know him, but I usually always trust my first instincts, and my first instincts about Jason were really good. I moved to return Levi's phone to the bedside table and I noticed he was grimacing. I immediately queried to Levi's pain level. "My pain level is high, Christian. Both inside and out." Levi said. "Let me get you some more meds." I said. However, before I could move another inch. "NO. While it is fresh in your mind I want you to ask yourself why you were so cold with Jason." Levi said. "I wasn't!" I replied, taken aback. "Bullshit! Nathan, was Christian cold to Jason?" Levi asked. "Ummmm. Well, maybe I would have used a different tone or terminology, but you have to understand we are all very tired and emotionally exhausted. Christian only has a couple nice gestures in him on any given day and he already used those up for today." Nathan said. "Levi, you need to keep yourself calm. we can talk about this later. You just had head surgery. I swear I will think about it. we can talk about it. You have to be calm right now though. I will drug the shit out of you if I have to. I won't listen to another word." Try to get some sleep I promise we will wake you up when Jason gets here." I said with finality in my voice. I don't care how I may have been too curt on the phone with Jason; it certanly doesn't matter compared to Levi's recovery and what is best for his recovery. It was right around an hour later Jason arrived. He didn't wait for me to wake Levi up, he didn't say anything to me at all. He strode right past me to Levi and bent down and kissed Levi's face. Levi awoke and reached out to him - like he had reached out to me earlier. I was jealous and somewhat resentful. I couldn't even believe I didn't know about Levi and Jason being close and especially not this close. Levi looked towards me and said, "I know you must be very tired. You and Nathan can go home for a bit if you like." I was astounded. He was dismissing me now that Jason was there. I felt somewhat angry and rejected. I did not want to rile Levi though. I just told him it would be nice to rest and we would be back later. Nathan and I took turns kissing Levi and saying our "love yous" and "good bye, see you laters" to Levi. I shook Jason's hand and told him thank you for staying with Levi for awhile. Nathan could feel my intense distaste for the situation radiating from me in waves. While we were in the elevator he took my hand in his and whispered, "We can talk about it when we get home. To our home. I love you baby. I do want to live with you if the offer still stands." Of course my mind was on Levi's health and how upset I was that there was this thing between Levi and Jason that was unbeknownst to me - actually kept from me. However, the touch and words from Nathan caused all bitterness in me to immediately dissipate. It is strange how much some people can influence us. It is amazing how much we allow ourselves to be changed by people. We put so much of ourselves into specific people who put their hearts and souls into our hands. It is truly beautiful. Mere words from them can change the course of our entire lives and alter us in just a moment's time. I looked to him and planted my lips to his. My hand found the back of his head and we kissed so intensely. The love we shared was transferring lip-to-lip. We ended the heartfelt embrace by the time the elevevator doors opened. We went to the car, and drove in silence to what was my loft, but is now our loft. We walked in and for the first time I didn't view my expensive loft which was furnished with fine things as just one more extension of myself; I saw it as a home - our home. Nathan's, Levi's and my home was this loft and there was so much love inside these walls. "Nathan, I have so much to get done. I need to get a nurse for Levi for when he gets discharged. You'll have to get someone to fill his shifts too." "Do you want to talk about this Jason thing?" Nathan asked me. "Nope. Levi will tell me what he wants me to know. He is an adult and a good boy. I trust him. He could never disappoint me." I said. "How about we just take an hour or two for ourselves and then you can put that big brain of yours to work making the preparations." Nathan said as wrapped his toned arms around my body. I went from sex being the last thing on my mind, to being in heat. When Nathan turned it on, I couldn't think of anything else. I ripped my shirt over my head like I was mad at it. I guess in the past I used sex as a kind of emotional release regardless of what the emotion was. I used to fuck hard when I was upset and soft when I was sad or depressed. With Nathan, it has never been that way because I can't be with him and feel anything other than love in my heart. Nathan had already shed all his clothes. He stood before me naked just staring into my eyes. I reached out and put my hands on each side of his face and pulled him to me. Our lips locked again. For several minutes we kissed passionately. His hands undid my belt and pants but he didn't push them down. He broke the kiss and just sank to his knees. He pulled my dick out of my briefs. My nearly completely hard cock was just hanging there out of pants and underwear. Then it disappeared into Nathan's mouth. I let an uncontrollable gasp escape from my lungs and mouth. The man I loved so much was using his mouth to make me feel such physical pleasure. I appreciated that, but the emotional pleasure I get from Nathan is more important. However, with emotional and physical pleasure combined I couldn't help myself. I began to make love to his mouth. My right hand found his head and my fingers were entwined into his beautiful blonde wavy hair. I used my hand in combination with my hips to piston my dick in and out of Nathan's hot, wet mouth. He was providing suction on my dick I have never felt before. He had to be getting lightheaded from lack of breath. I don't know how on earth he was getting any oxygen because the suction on my dick never stopped. His hands landed on my torso while he was sucking me. He began to feel my whole my body. His constantly roaming fingers sent waves of pulses through my body giving me goosebumps and making my breathing erratic and ragged. He pulled off and pushed my pants and underwear down in a flash and went right back to blowing me. He took an ass globe in each hand and was massaging my ass while he continued to accept the face fucking I was giving him. His left hand came around and started rubbing my balls. He was rolling them around and using the thumb of his other hand to put pressure on right behind my balls. I screamed. It was like he was rubbing my prostate from the outside of my body. The pleasure was almost too much. I told him I was close. He squeezed my balls just a little and pulled them down away from my cock. I have never had someone work a blowjob so expertly. His other hand continued to put pressure behind my balls but his amazing dexterity allowed his forefinger to start circling and pushing on my asshole. He continued to work it until his finger started to enter me. He kept on and kept on. So much was just running through my mind. I was thinking about our home. I was thinking about Nathan and Levi. I was thinking about my life. I was thinking about love. I was focusing on what I could feel physically and emotionally. I screamed and came. I didn't have the ability to think about anything for the orgasm that lasted at least two minutes. I had an iron grip on Nathan's head and I pumped every bit of cum in me directly into his mouth. Then before I could think or act at all; I started to tear up. I kind of cried. Nathan stood and wrapped his arms around my neck. His lips found mine again. I instantly tasted myself. He was pushing my own cum into my mouth with his tongue. I would have been repulsed about this any normal day. However, I was just so emotionally charged I was enjoying sharing this moment with Nathan. My arms around his torso. Our bodies rubbing together and our mouths coated in my cum; I knew I was home. Now, I just needed my boy Levi home. To Be Continued... As always I appreciate your thoughts - good or bad so feel free to e-mail me at jdylanh9@gmail.com.
